SIMPLIFIED SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT
The next generation Dell OpenManage
TM
suite
offers enhanced operations and standards-
based commands designed to integrate with
existing systems for effective control.
LIFECYCLE CONTROLLER
Lifecycle Controller is the engine for advanced
systems management integrated on the server.
Lifecycle Controller simplifies administrator
tasks to perform a complete set of provisioning
functions such as system deployment,
system updates, hardware configuration and
diagnostics from a single intuitive interface
called Unified Server Configurator (USC) in
a pre-OS environment. This eliminates the
need to use and maintain multiple pieces of
disparate CD/DVD media.
DELL MANAGEMENT CONSOLE (DMC)
The new Dell Management Console, powered
by Altiris™ from Symantec™, delivers a single
view and a common data source into the entire
infrastructure. Dell Management Console is
built on the Symantec Management Platform
(formerly Altiris Notification Server), an easily
extensible, modular foundation that can
provide basic hardware management or more
advanced functions such as asset and security
management. Dell Management Console helps
reduce or eliminate manual processes so less
time and money is spent keeping the lights on
and more time can be spent on strategic uses
of technology.
DELL GLOBAL SERVICES
Dell Services can help reduce IT complexity,
lower costs, and eliminate inefficiencies by
making IT and business solutions work harder
for you. The Dell Services team takes a holistic
view of your needs and designs solutions for
your environment and business objectives
while leveraging proven delivery methods, local
talent, and in-depth domain knowledge for the
lowest TCO.
